Eric T. Schneiderman, the New York attorney general who rose to prominence as an antagonist of the Trump administration, abruptly resigned on Monday night, hours after four women accused him of physically assaulting them in an article published by The New Yorker.

“It’s been my great honor and privilege to serve as attorney general for the people of the State of New York,” Mr. Schneiderman said in a statement. “In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me.

“While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office, they will effectively prevent me from leading the office’s work at this critical time. I therefore resign my office, effective at the close of business on May 8, 2018.”

All the women in the article, who had been romantically involved with Mr. Schneiderman, said the violence was not consensual.

How many other kinds of romantic relationships probably suffer from this same problem? This could be the tip of the iceberg of MeToo non-consensual relationships, especially where it concerns sexual deviance of one sort or another.

From one of the NYTimes comments on the article:

“At the least could not these women have waited until after the midterms?”

“Do you think there are more women?”
